Through the glass containing your favourite tipple but held at a tilt so most of the drink is at the bottom of the frame???

* Great guess, gents! It was a shot glass. Hee hee. Not crystal and no drink in it. The items were placed behind it and i adjusted my angle with the camera. Hee hee.

My dad passed away last Friday evening in the presence of my mom, my sisters and me. It was tough to let him go, but at the same time good to prevent him from any further suffering. I'm going to miss him very much. He always was there for us and gave us good advice in life. Born in the very late 30's he never owned a straight nor had ever shaved with one. His first was a DE from the mid-50's. He finished with some Gillette thing with 3 blades.
I couldn't think of any better blade than the v.d. Sanden for my first shave after this. A great shave to honour one of the strongest men in my life. Both in willpower and in mindset. Dad, I'm genuinely going to miss you.

I am very sorry for your loss. Godspeed to you and your family.

Gentlemen, thank you all for your kind words. It helps in these days of trouble.
Tonight we celebrated "Wigilia"; the Polish evening right before Christmas day with my (Polish) wife and my three daughters.
It was a moving event this time and still... the warmth could be felt all through.
I take that as a good sign. I cherish family life and I try to give that feeling to my kids.
To all of you, a very warm and loving Christmas and to those of other faiths and beliefs: enjoy the dark days to light some lights and spend valuable time with the ones that you love. The shortest day has gone, the light returns.

Christmas Eve.

Long hot bath, hot towels, Tabac lather on a silver tip. Clubman after.

Best combo I have found this far

* Best of luck to you and your family and may your dad's memory bring you joy, love and peace at this time of the year!
